Helen Littrell has made and donated, mostly to Southern Oregon, over 4,000 of these chemo hat patterns that are the kerchief type, yet closed in at back with elastic. The patterns are very reasonable. Ginny has made about 1,000 or more of them, mostly from the Cover pattern. Easy and so comfortable for the patients. They take approximately 1/2 yard of fabric. Hint: For the brim lining, Ginny uses fusible innerfacing. Works great.

Cleaning for a ReasonIf you know any woman currently undergoing cancer treatment, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning - once per month for 4 months while she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 820 partners to help these women. It's our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ETHEL TAYLOR, who for years has run a special page on her website about Chuck's Hats For Chemo, with a link for my email. Her website is about Kiowas Co. and the State of Oklahoma, where so many of Chuck's family died in a tornado in 1905 at Snyder. Maybe you would enjoy visiting her site, read more about the tornado and Chuck's family. The website is very interesting and informative. Thanks, Ethel!
